jdk 1.5 completion/generics

I'm using jde "2.3.5.1" with jdk 1.5, cedet version "1.0pre3".

As a simple example, completion works with a 

Vector v;
v.<-- press C-c C-v C-.

But not with

Vector v2<String>;
v2.<-- press C-c C-v C-.

(I get a "No completion at point").

Is this problem known?  Are there any workarounds (I read something
about using jdk 1.5 grammar in previous post from David Ponce, not
sure if that's relevant).  What steps are necessary to fix this (I
think you should throw away the <...> part at it should work?  Perhaps
I can work on it if nobody else is.
